5 Reasons to go to Summer Camp!

You see the world around you in your own unique way, let Outside the Lens help you tell your story! Connect with your camera, your environment and discover unique ways to share your story with others.

2. New Experiences

OTL Summer Camps are a great way to learn photography and filmmaking in a safe, creative environment. Our camp schedule offers a diverse mix of mini lectures, hands-on workshops and photo walks. Practice digital astrophotography techniques at Joshua Tree Park, dive into underwater photography with Take It to the Beach, or simply dance to your own beat with Music Video Makers. With over a dozen camps to choose from for kids and teens, there’s a digital media camp for you!

3. Foster New Friendships

Summer Camp is a great opportunity to meet people from all over the county, San Diego, La Jolla, Encinitas and beyond! Every camper at OTL shares a love for creativity, photography and storytelling. Collaborate with your production team for Documentary Filmmaking, embark on an architectural photowalk of La Jolla with your FlashBacks team, or share a joke or two with your classmates and OTL leaders during lunch on the grass. There’s something about long summer days and photos that can turn strangers into the best of friends.
